I was looking at Iconic1s set, the descriptions and pictures are a blast. I am sure I will spend time looking at the pictures and reading the descriptions. Thank you for that. I am at work now, I will have to go through the set book by book when I am sitting in front of my collection. It is interesting that a lot of the covers are different from the covers that I have. I saw what you guys were posting about people paying crazy money for these books and I got crazy excited. 😳 I needed one additional book, so I went to the comic book store, and I found the book I was looking for, as well as a bunch of other books from that series. I had a meeting that I had to go to, so I was in a hurry, I ended up picking up $50 worth of Books from that series, thinking that they were worth something. I ended up going out into my car to take that meeting. I went back into the comic book store, and the guy told me that most of my books were not worth anything. It was the second and third and newsstand copies that were worth more. It was the opposite of what I would have expected. As you can see, I bought multiples of some of these books, hoping that someday they would be worth something. Now I am not sure what to do. I am thinking that I would sell the books as a complete set. They are all in really good shape. I was extremely careful when I read them and then they went into a box. Should I send the important ones in for grading? Which ones would those be? I have the ones in the white plastic bag in the black plastic bag from the death and rebirth of Superman. And there are a few with foil covers. should I just send in the good ones I have multiples of so that it is an entirely readable set? I don’t mind making an investment if it makes it worth more in the end. If I understand correctly, it is $25 to get it graded? If I send it for grading, is it in my best interest to have it pressed first? Pressing cost $10? I followed the triangles through the rest of 1993 and pretty far into 1994. What should I do with those books? Thank you. This really is fun.

These are some of the books. I went out and got sleeves and backers for all of them.

Please excuse me for being a newbie I just found this site today. In 1993 I was in my early 20s and got really excited about the death of Superman series. I couldn’t believe they were going to kill superman and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I bought all of the comics as they came out following the numbered triangles. Last night, following a list of the three series doomsday funeral, for a friend reign of the supermen, out through the end of 93, and into 94 where it started from one again. The only one I am missing is funeral for a friend 1. all of them are the first issue and a bunch have foil covers. I have a couple of the death of Superman black factory, sealed and back to life in the white plastic factory sealed. I have one of each that I opened so that I could read the comic. I was very careful with every one of them, and haven’t touched them cents. There is one with the cover that is slightly loose near the staple. I see that you have greetings from this website. Does it really cost $25 each to get them graded? my collection starts with man of steel 18 doomsday. I even have some of the offshoots that are not on the list like steel number 1, super boy number 1. this is really exciting I think this is the list I was following. The justice league, death of Superman does not even have a triangle on it. And there is a next edition in that series, which is black. what do you guys suggest I do next? Thank you Will
